Erik Sviatchenko has been linked with a move back to Celtic by a reporter with a strong track record on Celtic stories.
Last summer Allison McConnell broke the story of Leigh Griffiths being excluded from Celtic’s pre-season training camps at Loughborough and in France.
In February 2019 the former Celtic View reporter got the double scoop of Brendan Rodgers moving to Leicester with Neil Lennon coming in as his replacement.
Now working as a freelance she has the Sviatchenko story in the Daily Record and The Sun who report:
CELTIC Invincible Erik Sviatchenko could be in line for a shock return to the Hoops this summer.
It’s understood the Danish defender is back on Celts’ radar as new boss Ange Postecoglou plans a massive summer overhaul.
The 29-year-old has a buy-out clause in his FC Midtjylland contract and there is interest in him from the English Premier League.
But Celts are also keen after Sviatchenko rediscovered his top form to help his club back into the Champions League qualifiers. The popular defender, who still has three years left on his deal, won two titles, two League Cups and a Scottish Cup during his time at Parkhead.
Should Celtic bring back Erik Sviatchenko?
Yes, exactly what we need going forward
No way, we need to look forward not back
It would be quite incredible if Sviatchenko had been identified by Ange Postecoglou as someone to build his new look Celtic side around.
With Chris Jullien recovering from injury and Kris Ajer expected to move on during this transfer window central defence is one of many areas in urgent need of strengthening.
Ironically Midtjylland are one of three potential Champions League opponents for Celtic in Wednesday’s non-champions route draw.
